Polkadot Showdown: Revive is not EVM, but a revolution in the execution layer.
The Revive mainnet is set for 2026/1/20, with Kusama taking effect at the end of December.
But the key point is not "Polkadot can run Solidity."
Rather, it is...
The execution layer directly entering the core protocol for the first time, no longer outsourced to parachains.
🔺Native EVM (REVM, complete ETH semantics)
🔺High-performance RISC-V (PolkaVM, high performance, multi-language)
🔺Unified Gas / Weight
🔺Multiple VMs sharing the same state space
This is not another EVM chain,
but a protocol-level multi-virtual machine computing platform.
